Yep I just figured I would do the rest for good measure... though didn't realize how bad I was at desoldering.
To amend my previous statement it took vaccum desolderer, braid and a jewelers hand drill to clear out the holes to make it easier to get the new ones in.? I'm sure there other possibly easier ways but I chose the hard one.? ?I'm slightly better at desoldering now though :)

I will also say you will have to perfect your desoldering skills to remove all 5 relays :)? I thought I knew how to desolder before I started... but clearly I was deluding myself.
I nearly gave up but watched a couple youtube video's and so someone much better than I doing it and managed to learn the way to do it with a simple suction vac and desoldering braid.. though I was really wishing I had one of those hakko electric vacuum desoldering tools :)

- I actually did replace all of the relays with axicom relays.? I bought some parts to build an external filter to see how that does (not due to arrive for a while).? I'm transmitting SSB when doing the test.
- I also bought the parts to replace L5 and L7 not due to arrive for a little while either.? Any chance the mod suggested for the v5 board would solve this harmonic?
